Leading the Way in EV and HEV Real-Time Simulation

For HIL and PHIL-testing of ECUs, real-time simulations must be as real as possible. A truly reliable implementation of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) for EV and HEV applications requires sound models, program execution time of less than a few microseconds, and the fastest possible I/O communication. OPAL-RT provides solvers, FPGA architecture and CPU capability that identify the company as a leader in HEV/EV simulation.

High-Fidelity Real-Time Simulation over Analogic Test Benches

The ability to perform real-time simulation electrical motor testing hinges upon the capabilities of a real-time, high-fidelity motor model. This model enables engineers to focus on performing precise testing, not on the workings of the system.

The following presentations describe two key elements in creating the most effective HIL simulators for electrical transportation.

High-Fidelity FPGA Real-Time Motor Simulation

OPAL-RT provides FPGA and Simulink-based electrical motor models, such as: PMSM, IM, SRM, BLDC, DC and AC. OPAL-RT is also well-known for the development of real-time models of atypical motors, as needed.

Mechanical dynamics generally run as much as ten times slower than electrical dynamics performed on CPU, significantly increasing user flexibility.

Virtual Fault Injection on Converters, Bridges and Electrical Motors

A complete HEV/EV ECU test coverage requires validation of controller behavior under fault scenarios on electrical motors and converters. The OPAL-RT solution enables the simulation of faults on many converters and motors, including:

RECOMMENDED OPAL-RT Real-Time SIMULATION SYSTEM

With almost two decades of research and development in real-time simulation and a wealth of hands-on experience in power electronics, OPAL-RT has created eFPGASIM, the industry’s most powerful and intuitive FPGA-based real-time solution. eFPGASIM combines the performance of high-fidelity digital simulators with the very low latency required for hybrid and electrical transportation testing and R&D.
